      XPost: van.general       From: gregcarrsober@gmail.com              One of B.C.’s top-earning companies has again been fined for illegally       operating a garbage transfer station that government says sidesteps       recycling regulations.              Super Save Disposal Inc. was fined $70,000 by the courts in 2005 for       operating without a permit in Surrey.              Earlier this month, it was fined $145,000 for the same offence at a       different Surrey location.              A call to Super Save for comment was not returned by press time.              According to an agreed statement of facts, the Super Save Group — parent       of the disposal arm — was ranked 77th out of the top revenue-generating       companies in B.C. in 2012, and is the fourth-largest commercial waste       disposal operator in the province.              In both cases, Metro Vancouver regional district had identified and       warned the company that its transfer stations — which are delivery       points for garbage sorting or compacting — was not licensed, according       to the provincial court.              In the end of each case, the company decided to shut down the operation       instead of applying for the proper regulation — which would have       included a number of associated application, administration and disposal       fees.              Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode said Super Save sets a “bad example for       others” that follow the rules.              “I would need to ask Super Save, why is it that they feel like they’re       not able to adhere to the regulations set out and enforced by Metro       Vancouver?” she said.              According to the court, in the 2005 instance Super Save waited six       months after it was told of the regulatory breach before closing shop.              The sentencing judge said the company “concluded that properly regulated       activity at the site would not be profitable.”              In the most recent case, the 19395 Langley Bypass site continued       operating until August 2013, according to the statement of facts,       despite being told of the violation in February 2012.              According to Rasode, Surrey has also filed charges against Super Save       for allegedly “ignoring zoning requirements” for a recycling depot at       19388 - 92nd Ave., despite repeated city notices.              The city’s regulations, she indicated, requires recycling depots to be       inside a building, but the property at 92nd Avenue is a vacant site.                     http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/2014/01/21/garbage-firm-super-save-fin       d-for-having-no-licence              Jim Pattison the Billionairre is the owner of the Super Save chain of       companies                     --       *Read and obey the Bible*              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
